(6200) While the King of the Mountain was exchanging words with the Galewind Dragon King above the Orbital Dragon Island.

Terra, the Empire’s Southern Ridges.

Ian was also dealing with dragons.

Recently, Sio has repaired his own Dragon Nest, and the scenery around Solitary Flame Peak has changed dramatically.

The area around Solitary Flame Peak was originally filled with dark clouds, and thunder would often strike down, flashing with a blaze-like light, hence the Mountain People called it Solitary Flame.

But now, layers of White Mist enveloped the surroundings of the summit, which sketched out the embryonic form of a vortex like the light grey brushstrokes in a Chinese ink painting, with pale blue electric arcs flowing through the clouds, gathering natural forces, and gently guiding the thunder into the mountain, turning it into energy.

Visible on the peak, from time to time, are spirit energy lines that can be seen with the naked eye, crisscrossing the surface of the mountain, eventually vanishing into the core of the rock layers.

The isolation of Solitary Flame Peak, especially over the past decade of great storms, has stripped away the topsoil, leaving behind the most solid rock structures, which clearly have been transformed into a dragon’s den.

Ian walked halfway up Solitary Flame Peak, taking an interested observation of this transformed and rejuvenated strategic location—withinside the mountain, Sio had buried many large structures, like this metallic projection shaped like a bullet in front of Ian, which is an air vent for a massive underground pipe.

The copper pipes, exposed on the surface, occasionally spewed out milky, faintly glowing steam that shot straight into the clouds crowning the peak, contributing to the reuse of energy.

Centered around the Dragon Nest, a small Origin-Rich Region would form.

In a few years, many Sublimation Plants, and even some extremely special Sublimation Mana Plants related to the True Dragon’s characteristics, will grow on Sio’s Dragon Nest.

The technology of True Dragons far surpasses what many can imagine, and those who do not know the source of True Dragons’ power often mistake the ignorance of Sub-Dragons and the savagery of half-dragons as the nature of dragons.

But in reality, each True Dragon possesses inconceivably advanced techniques and wisdom, and even a fifth-generation True Dragon like Sio, born from his parents’ flesh and blood, also contains the essence of the highest level of memory.

Although he didn’t inherit his mother’s wisdom, Sio’s years of studying in the Dragon Nest has enabled him to master quite a bit.

“Next time, maybe I can convince Sio to visit the Alchemy Workshop?

Adalbert has always wanted to take a close look at what a True Dragon is really about.” Ian thought as he approached the entrance to Sio’s Dragon Nest.

Compared to the first time, the Dragon Nest’s entrance was now sealed by a large metal door, with two golden Elemental Crystals shimmering with intense light at the entrance.

Upon being illuminated by this light, the door automatically opened for Ian—he was recorded as a highest-level guest, and naturally, the Dragon Nest would not reject the youth.

By the way, the King of the Mountain’s authority is somewhat special; although also at the highest level, it triggers an alarm-like loud noise to alert a certain True Dragon that their mother has arrived.

Ian was here this time to check on Sio’s recent recovery.

As Sio’s body continued to grow, he needed to consume large amounts of Sublimated Metal and special biomatter, for which the King of the Mountain took responsibility for some, but as Sio’s Lord and temporary guardian (entrusted by the King of the Mountain), Ian naturally had to do his part as well.

Providing Sublimated Metal is easy, the Mountain People can completely supply it.

In fact, the Mountain People are too accustomed to serving a True Dragon.

Even many tribes, upon realizing that they could serve a True Dragon, were moved to tears, repeatedly refusing the remuneration Ian offered, forcing Ian to present the payment anyway.

Money even has to be forcibly given, what a situation.jpg

Of course, this is also a benefit of Ian’s high prestige…

Recently, under Ian’s strong measures, all Mountain Tribes who once sided with Fiery Flame Land have been forcefully disbanded and subjected to centralized management, and their wealth and land have been taken by Ian and other Mountain Tribes supporting the Empire.

And Ian also brought the Mountain People a large number of modern work tools and Alchemical Creations, reasonably priced glowstone lamps replacing primitive oil lamps, and roads began to be laid between tribes, greatly facilitating the exchange of goods and Ian’s administration.

With these benefits, as well as the increasingly elite Magnetic Storm Armor Squad in Ian’s hands, all the Mountain People were effectively disciplined.

Occasionally, there were some who didn’t want to be ruled, so a lesson with some executions was necessary to establish authority, and the fools who were itching for it would return to their senses.

There were typical examples, tribal Chieftains who had issues with Ian, even paraded through the streets before being executed at each tribe’s entrance and proclaimed their crimes.

While this may seem like violent terror rule, it must be explained: in this world of Sublimators, if you don’t show your own brand of violent terror, others will teach you what violent terror is.

Surely no one believes that appeasement and morality can control a group of people who are still at the tribal stage of political structure and possess the inheritance of sublimation, right?

That wouldn’t just be naive, but foolish.

And for those defeated Mountain People who have been centralized, Ian is well aware that the vast majority are just ordinary people.

But when compared to causing his own Mountain People misery, he would rather see the enemies suffer.

However, it’s not much of a problem.

Ian centralized these people around the swamp area northwest of the Bison Mountain Range for a swamp reclamation project, and began a large-scale cultivation of the Sky Crystal Mushroom—a primary material for Elemental Crystals—he will provide sufficient food and tools, while the accommodations and public facilities may be rudimentary, they are solidly constructed without any cut corners.
